Some thoughts about Justice Society of America #8


Whatever happened to the Red Lantern?

The daughter of one of Alan Scott's old enemies has arrived looking for answers but Helena believes that there's still hope in her and other villains.

Once again, I feel like we're wasting a bit too much on meaningless material.

Geoff Johns offers a new installment where we explore more of the heavily teased Golden Age Red Lantern but surprisingly enough, it doesn't give us many answers about what happened to him. We see more of his daughter of course and there's a hint that Alan and him might have been something more than enemies at one point (and I don't know why they're trying to force all of this so early in Alan's history) but aside from that, it doesn't seem like the plot is moving, at least not as much as it should considering Johns is leaving the title soon.

Yes, there are a few hints about upcoming events but at this point I want more than simple hints, I want the actual events to happen, not dedicate more issues into planting the seeds for future stories that don't have enough time to actually become something compelling. This is sadly a letdown.

Mikel Janin handles the art and is great with expressive characters and the beautiful style you can expect from him.

Aside from that, I wish this was going somewhere already.
